BRITT, WOMACK WIN $10,000 AT ROCKINGHAM’S FALL BRACKET NATIONALS
ROCKINGHAM – Former Carolina Coalition champion Chris Plott just missed out on a sweep of the Footbrake titles, Allen Britt and E.J. Womack claimed the two biggest prizes and Nick Womack won the Nesbitt Performance Engines World’s Quickest Bracket Race title during the annual Fall Bracket Nationals at Steve Earwood’s Rockingham Dragway.
 
Britt beat Joe Gary of Greenwood, S.C., in an all-dragster final to claim Saturday’s $10,000 prize in the Top Eliminator class.  Womack matched that with a Sunday win over Todd Whited of Richlands, Va., and his 1995 Oldsmobile.
 
After beating Tim Cowick of Lumber Bridge for the $1,500 Footbrake purse on Saturday, Plott drove back into the final round on Sunday before losing to Derek Harris of McLanesville and his 1977 Chevy Nova.  Plott got the early jump on Harris, but his 6.697 was too quick by .003 to match his 6.700 target.
 
The Jr. Dragster division was dominated by Ty Randolph of Ware Shoals and Bethany Crick of Nortonville, Ky., who split the two titles.  Randolph beat Crick on Saturday. Crick returned the favor on Sunday.
 
Nick Womack’s win in the race-within-the-race, a competition restricted to the quickest bracket cars on the premises, earned him an extra $2,000.
